About the Artist
BROOMFILLER is Toronto, Canada’s answer to melodic punk rock. Having been compared to the melodic punk rock sounds of Bad Religion, Face to Face, Millencolin, Husker Du, Foo Fighters, and Bracket, (to name a few), their heavy melodic punk alternative sound, with melodic vocals, soothing bass lines and rhythmic drumming is a blend of music, style and performance which enables them to truly stand out.
"Enter the Storm" is their sophomore album which follows on the heels of "Watching the girls go bi", which received much success and recognition across Canada, USA & Europe.
BROOMFILLER have been compared to Foo Fighters holding hands with Bracket while sitting on a park bench eating a sandwich made by Bad Religion, Face to Face & Husker Du.
BROOMFILLER completed a 7 week US tour (Mar-May '06) and have just recently completed a 2 month tour (Oct-Dec '06) both in support of "Enter the Storm". They have toured extensively in Canada since 2002 and in the US since 2004.
BROOMFILLER will be doing a cross-Canada tour (April-May 2008) in support of Enter the Storm.
